2-6 (even) Nelson Street and 1 and 1a Wellington Street

This is a textile (wool) warehouse, including offices and shops, dating from 1873, which was later converted into apartments in the late 20th century. It may have been designed by RT Johnson. The building is located within the Dewsbury Town Centre Conservation Area, south of a block of smaller warehouses.

The building is constructed of buff sandstone with a slate roof. Its roughly trapezoidal plan features a cranked southern frontage and abuts buildings at 27 and 29 Wellington Road and 8-16 (even) Nelson Street to the west.

The building is four storeys high and built in a free Venetian Gothic style. The upper floors retain original vertical-sliding sash windows with horns in all openings.

The Nelson Street frontage is symmetrical with five bays; it steps away beyond bays 2 and 3. The ground floor is faced with ashlar, featuring replacement shopfronts and entrances, while the upper floors are rock-faced. Moulded stone corbels in the style of a Lombardy frieze run along the eaves, and continuous sill and lintel bands are present on each upper floor. Bays 1, 3, and 5 have stacked, three-light windows: the top floor windows are arcaded, the second floor windows are Venetian with shouldered heads, and the first floor windows are lancet arches within a low two-centred arch. Bays 2 and 4 have stacked single-light stair windows. Various tympana contain incised decoration.

At the corner of Nelson Street and Wellington Street, the facade is splayed with quoined angles and a blank space above the entrance. This entrance has a replacement doorway with a fanlight and shouldered lintel, surmounted by a blind gabled arch rising to the first floor, supported on twisted colonnettes. The cusped, pointed tympanum includes the monogram "J M". Above this is a blind second-floor window and a third-floor datestone featuring the number 1873 in relief. The facade rises above the eaves and terminates in a stepped cap.

The four-bay Wellington Street frontage mirrors the details of the Nelson Street facade, and includes a pinnacled, gableted pilaster-buttress on the right side, which matches those on the Nelson Street facade of the attached buildings to the west (27 and 29 Wellington Road and 8-16 (even) Nelson Street).

The three-bay Back Nelson Street facade is plain, with stone sills and lintels to the openings. A vertical joint, marked by a change in coursing and a slight inward step, indicates where the building abuts the adjacent structure to the west.
